INSTALLING THE 9V BATTERY IN YOUR TRANSMITTER
Always use a fresh 9V battery in the
transmitter.
1) Insert the USB charger into a USB port, or use
the included 12V car adapter if you want to
charge in the field.
2) Plug in the 6.4V LiFePo battery to the charger
cable. An LED light will begin to blink in the
base of the USB plug to indicate that the
battery is charging.
3) A fully discharged battery will take about
80min to fully charge. Do not overcharge.
Do not leave the battery unattended while charging.
4) The blinking LED light will turn solid when the charge is complete. Disconnect the 6.4V LiFePo battery
from the charger.
• The 6.4V LiFePo battery does not come pre-charged.
You must fully charge the battery before using the boat
• The 6.4V LiFePo battery can be re-charged many times before it needs to be replaced.
When the battery no longer holds a charge (is dead), it should be properly recycled.
NOTE 1: The boat will typically run for about 8 min on a fully charged battery. As soon as you notice a
drop off in speed, you should bring the model back to shore or you may lose control of the boat.
NOTE 2: Continuous running of the model will generate high heat levels, which will lead to premature
wear on the motor. It is recommended to let the model cool down for about 5-10 min before
installing a re-charged battery pack.
The binding process effectively ties the transmitter and receiver together. Under normal circumstances, both
items are supplied like this from the factory. If, however, you find that your transmitter and receiver are not
bound(receiver’s red LED is on), you should do the following:
1) Switch “ON” the transmitter.
2) Switch “ON” the receiver by Attaching 6.4V power pack’s connector to the matching connector in the
Magic Series boat.
3) Press down the “BIND” button on the receiver, the receiver’s green LED will be on to indicate that binding has
been successful and the receiver will now accept commands from the transmitter.
Note 1: During binding process, transmitter and receiver should be no more than one meter apart and no other
similar devices should be within 10 meters.
Note 2: if the green light flashing, showing the binding failure, please do again as above indication.

HOW TO CONTROL/OPERATE YOUR MAGIC SERIES
1) Forward Throttle Trigger
Your Magic Series can be driven forward by
pulling the throttle trigger. Release the
trigger and the Series Vee will stop.
2) Left/Right Steering Wheel
The steering wheel controls the Magic Series’s
left and right movement. Turn the wheel to
the left to steer to the left. Turn the wheel
to the right to steer to the right. Release the
wheel to go straight.
Racing Tip: The Magic Series is an oval racer,
designed for clockwise racing, and will be less
responsive to steering inputs at high speed,
particularly left turns. Decrease your speed to
allow tighter turning.

DRIVING YOUR MAGIC SERIES
1) Switch ‘ON’ the transmitter. Check that the transmitter’s red LED glows brightly.
2) Check that the Magic Vee’s turn fins are adjusted correctly.
3) Switch ‘ON’ the Magic Series’s (connect the 6.4V Power Pack).
4) Check that the propeller and the rudder respond to transmitter inputs before placing the Magic Series on the
water.
AFTER USE
1) When you have finished using your Magic Series, you should first switch ‘OFF’ the model (disconnect the 6.4V
Power Pack), then switch ‘OFF’ your transmitter.
2) Remove all batteries from the transmitter and model.
3) Leave the Magic Series’s upper deck off to allow moisture to evaporate. Ideally, place the model in this way in a
warm and dry place, like an airing cupboard, until you are sure it is dry and then store it away.
NOTE: If the Magic Series begins to bob when running, it may have taken on an excessive amount of water. In
this case, you should immediately return to shore, remove the upper deck and drain the water from the hull.
IF YOUR VESSEL DOES NOT OPERATE IN A STRAIGHT LINE
TURN FINS
The Magic Vee features adjustable turn fins
to aid in turning. These can be adjusted using
the included Allen key. The optimum angle of
adjustment is 45 degrees to the hull.

If your Magic Series do not run in a
straight line when not being steered, you can adjust
it by using the steering trim located on the upper
right hand side of the transmitter.

when adjusting the steering. If your model runs
to the right when not being steered, press the
“ST.TRIM-L” button. Re-center the model and
see if this has corrected the problem. Keep
making small adjustments in this way until the
model runs stright.

Silicone
Coupler
NOTE: After several times of pulling the flexshaft out from the
silicone coupler, the silicone coupler might lose flexibility that
make the connection of flexshaft end not good. Once this happens,
It is suggested to replace the silicone coupler with new one, which
is supplied in the kit bag.
2. Lubricate the flexshaft w/ prop shaft with the water proof marinegrease,
reinstall the flexshaft w/ prop shaft in reverse order, be sureto push the
flexshaft end into the silicone coupler for fullly connection.
1. Use one hand to hold the silicone coupler tight, while other hand to pull
the propeller shaft out from the stuffing tube.
MAINTAINING THE DRIVESHAFT
Lubricating the flexshaft is vital to the life of the drivetrain. The lubricant
also acts as a water seal, keeping water from entering the hull through the
stuffing tube. It is recommanded to lubricate the flexshaft, propeller shaft
after every 2 or 3 times of operation.
Check using the chart below before returning your Magic Series for repair as many problems can be easily
solved.
